Some CDs show the first track with a ridiculous length, and cannot be ripped

I've run into two examples of CDs that dBpoweramp shows the first track as over 300 minutes, and the rest are accurate. These CDs cannot be played or ripped; the first track is skipped completely, and the remaining tracks are processed quickly and inaccurately. On the same system, Windows Media Player shows the track information accurately, but also cannot play the disc. Anyone ever see anything like this before?
